After destroying Ju Yi's army of nearly 20,000 again, Ye Chen became very relaxed, and he won this battle by himself, although the losses were also very large.

By the time Tai Shici arrived and handed over the prisoners, it was already ten in the afternoon.

After Ju Yi received that the 20,000 army was destroyed, he left the city with his men and horses and rushed to Jizhou at full speed.

Ye Chen chased all the way, but he didn't catch up, and let Ju Yi go back to Jizhou.

When Ye Chen led people to the border of Jizhou, Ju Yi was already ready in the city, and reinforcements had arrived.

"Lord, do you want to attack, although they have reinforcements, we still have a chance." Guan Yu said unwillingly.

Ye Chen was silent, letting Ju Yi escape, it was a pity, according to Ye Chen's estimate, Ju Yi could not escape, but because of Ju Yi's decisiveness, he finally let him escape back with 20,000 people.

At the head of the city, Ju Yi looked at the opposite side expressionlessly, Ye Chen's more than 20,000 cavalry were there.

Next to him, he stood quietly aside.

Yes, as soon as he received the news of Ju Yi's defeat, he immediately rushed over and answered Ju Yi here.

"This Ye Chen is really deep hidden, and he is very patient, he forcibly annihilated my 100,000 army, and now only 20,000 remnants have escaped." Ju Yi seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be talking to Frustration.

Ju Yi's heart was extremely painful, an army of 100,000, only 20,000 people came back in the end, and the first dead soldier he brought with him actually died on delaying the enemy army, and his death was very worthless.

"This Ye Chen, we all underestimate him, to fight with him, we have to start from the strategic level, no matter how good the tactics are, we will fail in the end against him." Frustrated said.

Ju Yi deeply felt the same way, in terms of tactics, Ju Yi did not make a mistake, but Ye Chen laid out from other aspects, so that Ju Yi could not follow the established strategy, and even failed.

If it weren't for Zhao Yun attacking Yuan Shao's rear and threatening his grain route, if it weren't for Ye Chen's great disruption of Jizhou's economy, Yuan Shao wouldn't have been urging Ju Yi to attack.

If Yuan Shao didn't urge, even if Ju Yi couldn't win, he wouldn't have lost so badly.

Ye Chen began to lay out before the war officially began.

Guan Yu took the initiative to retreat, and it seemed that he could not resist Ju Yi's 30,000 army, but in fact, it was used as a surprise soldier, detouring through the grassland, and raiding from the rear when Ju Yi was attacking the city.

And Zhao Yun was also sent early to disrupt Yuan Shao's rear, using the speed advantage of the light horse to operate.

If it weren't for Zhao Yun's uncertain whereabouts, the messengers arrived a few days late, and at that time, if Zhao Yunruo cooperated with Guan Yu and attacked them together, it was estimated that none of them would have been able to escape.

Now that I think about it, Ju Yi is lucky to be able to escape.

Ye Chen, who was on the other side, did not attack or leave, but camped there.

"Young family master, since you don't fight, you will go back, seeing that they can't fight, I feel uncomfortable." Ye Chen decided not to surround it, and the tiger head said quite unhappily.

Ye Chen smiled, sat in the big tent and drank tea, then looked at the generals and said: "Relax, there is no benefit in fighting, we are surrounding here, and the state is at our disposal, and Yuan Shao does not dare to attack Yanzhou wantonly, it is estimated that he will withdraw his troops after eating Qingzhou." ”

This is another layout, dragging the troops of Jizhou here, and then the Youzhou side will attack the state with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and regain control of part of the state.

In addition, what a big loss suffered here, Yuan Shao definitely did not dare to fight on two fronts, so he could only withdraw.

In fact, Yuan Shao didn't have much strength to attack again.

Eat Qingzhou, Qingzhou is initially decided, and a large number of troops are needed to defend it, so why do you have to leave 100,000 people.

And Yuan Shao lost 80,000 people in Youzhou, and tens of thousands of people when he attacked Qingzhou, and lost more than 100,000 people at once, even if Jizhou was strong, he had to stop and lick his wounds.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Ye Chen had already ordered Tai Shici to turn around and go to Bingzhou, recovering all the original lost land, and at the same time eating the 5,000 men and horses left in Jizhou in Bingzhou.

Then Tai Shici went south and began to attack the Bingzhou area that Jizhou had originally mastered, and ate a part of it.

Jizhou strategically contracted and ceded a part of the land to merge with the state.

When Yuan Shao received the defeat of Youzhou all the way, he didn't know how many things he had broken.

"The lord's plan for now is to stabilize Qingzhou first, and when we recover our strength, we will destroy Youzhou first, otherwise we will suffer a situation of being attacked by the enemy." Xu You said to Yuan Shao.

I don't know how many times I was angry with Ye Chen, but this time Yuan Shao did not lose his mind.

"Okay, let's let Ye Chen go this time, but this Liu Bei actually dares to make a small move behind us, I really don't dare to hit him." Yuan Shao turned his anger on Liu Bei.

In fact, Liu Bei was quite wronged, Yuan Shao directed his anger at him because of the counterfeit money that appeared in the Jizhou market, and the final source pointed to Liu Bei.

Ye Chen's counterfeit money was imported through the Nanyang area, and some merchants controlled by Ye Chen were also doing this.

Even many businessmen in Nanyang didn't know that they were being used by Ye Chen.

It just so happened that Liu Bei himself also opened the furnace to make coins, and so on, all the evidence pointed to Liu Bei, and of course Yuan Shao's anger was going to be sent to Liu Bei.

In fact, Liu Bei himself was also very wronged, he began to make coins, and his family's "real coins" had not had time to be put on the market, and as a result, a large number of counterfeit coins appeared on the market.

Liu Bei can be said to be in a hurry, and now Nanyang's economy has once again suffered a severe test.

Now Liu Bei has a crisis, the people hate him, and many families don't trust him.

"Strategist, can't you be sure who put the counterfeit money?" Liu Bei said anxiously.

Yan Rou shook her head, sighed and said, "At present, we can only suspect that Ye Chen did it, but there is no evidence, I am afraid that the people and those families will not believe it." ”

The news of Liu Bei's coins will definitely be known, and not long after he made coins, a large number of counterfeit coins occurred in this Nanyang area, who would believe Liu Bei.

The people are the foundation, no matter whether they are valued or not, if most of the people oppose Liu Bei, Liu Bei will not only have a bad reputation, but it will also be difficult to gain a foothold in Nanyang.

That's why Liu Bei has been so nervous these days.

"My lord, now I can only withdraw the counterfeit money in the market first, stabilize the market, and stabilize people's hearts." Yan Rou was also very helpless, he was not good at this aspect in the first place, and now he couldn't even come up with strong evidence, how could the people believe it?

Liu Bei was extremely angry and created coins, but before the money was earned, he had to spend a large sum of money first, and more importantly, he had to spend it for the enemy, and the money spent was earned by the enemy.

Blood loss.

How can Liu Bei not be angry.

Liu Bei also knew the importance of the people's will, so he could only raise money everywhere to stabilize the market.

When the news reached Ye Chen, Ye Chen couldn't mention how happy he was.

"Haha, kill two birds with one stone, I made a fortune in a muffled voice."

disrupted the economy of Jizhou and Nanyang, and he could still make a fortune, which was quite cost-effective.

At this time, the battle situation has also stabilized, and Ye Chen can return to the dynasty and continue to develop his territory.
